Building

I enjoy the messy middle of building. Taking ideas from early sketches to polished, shippable designs. I collaborate closely with engineers and product managers, iterate quickly, and stay hands on through feedback, QA, and launch. For me, building is where strategy meets real world constraints.

Hi, I’m Ria. Currently based in Seattle, where I'm appreciating how quiet trails and grey skies sharpen observation. When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me cafe-hopping or chasing golden-hour light with my camera.
